Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It's almost boring: yet another excellent British Sea Power album.
Like every BSP release so far, it's steeped in the exiled Cumbrians' obsessions (ornithology, history, the sea) and alternates between rousing anthems and tranquil interludes. If there's an angle, it's the one alluded to in the title: the ways humanity finds pleasure. And it's done in a typically enigmatic manner which ensures Machineries of Joy will keep dispensing plenty of its own.
